F. Diederich et al., MONONUCLEAR AND DINUCLEAR PLATINUM SIGMA-ACETYLIDE COMPLEXES OF TETRAETHYNYLETHENE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (18), 1994, pp. 2045-2046
Syntheses and X-ray structural characterizations of two types of plati
num sigma-acetylide complexes in which the metals are bound to tetraet
hynylethene skeletons are reported; these complexes are closely relate
d to the basic,constituents of a metal-linked carbon network and are p
repared to explore the feasibility of thermodynamically controlled met
al-acetylenic self assembly.
